The problem

Peer review is broken. Everyone knows it.

The science community runs on reviewers — but the system treats them as an afterthought.

100M+
hours of reviewer work every year — globally, largely unrecognized
35%
review invitation acceptance rate in 2024 — down from 56% in 2020
$7B+
earned by top 4 publishers in 2024 — while reviewers receive nothing

We think that's wrong. Arxivia is building a system where reviewers are respected, recognized, and rewarded — not just used. f you believe peer review matters, we want you on our team.

What you get

Real recognition. Not just a thank-you email.

We designed the reviewer experience based on what researchers actually said they need.

Web of Science Reviewer Credits

Every completed review is automatically recorded in your Web of Science profile via the official Reviewer Recognition Service.

Official WoS integration

Full feedback loop — always

You always know what happened to the manuscript you reviewed. Editor's decision, how your review was rated, what the other reviewers said.

Unique to Arxivia

We match by subject area, expertise, and publication history. No irrelevant manuscripts, no spam. You choose when to accept.

Honorarium for completed reviews
